lendario

EN He was incapable of untruth; never tampered with a fact; never altered a disagreeable word to suit the pleasure or convenience of any mortal being, least of all of his own children, who, sprung from his loins, should be aware from childhood that life is difficult; facts uncompromising; and the passage to that fabled land where our brightest hopes are extinguished, our frail barks founder in darkness (here Mr Ramsay would straighten his back and narrow his little blue eyes upon the horizon), one that needs, above all, courage, truth, and the power to endure.
GL Era incapaz de trabucarse; endexamais amañou un feito; nunca alterou unha palabra desagradable de xeito que puidese redundar en satisfacción ou comenencia de mortal ningún, na dos seus propios fillos menos ca na de ninguén, que, sendo carne da súa carne, cumpría que soubesen desde a infancia que a vida é dura; que os feitos non admiten medias tintas; e que o paso pola lendaria terra onde as nosas esperanzas luminosas se extinguen, as nosas fráxiles embarcacións se mergullan nas tebras (e ó chegar aquí o señor Ramsay erguía as costas e musgaba os seus olliños azuis albiscando o horizonte), require, sobre todo, coraxe, sinceridade e capacidade de resistencia.
